I CAN’T, HE NEVER SAID I COULD
I heard these words and it changed the rest of my life, “You cannot live the Christian life, don’t even try. God never intended you to live the Christian life by trying hard and harder.

BEING A BLESSING TO OTHERS
God has designed you and me to be relational people. Our success, fulfillment, and happiness depends partly on our ability to relate to other people. You see, the wisdom of God from His Holy Word leads to right thinking. This leads to right actions, right feelings, and right relationships. One way to be a person […]
Do You Know Whose You Are?
by Brad Jolly Do you know whose you are? That’s kind of an odd-sounding question maybe. But the answer to that question has a tremendous impact to your life. That’s because our need to be included in a family or circle of friends is something so intrinsically at the core of our being. In other […]

AND YOU SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE
In John 8:32 (NLT) Jesus said, “And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” This freedom is ours the moment we believe that Jesus died for us on the cross and we receive Him into our life as our Lord and Savior. But because of years of living controlled by […]
Are You Drifting?
by Chris Hodges For this reason we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it. Hebrews 2:1 Have you ever watched a boat drift from the dock or shore? You have to be patient because it doesn’t happen all at once. The drifting process […]
